Beaumont delivers value through its service to the community.

2011 COMMUNITY BENEFIT REPORT

“Pass the vegetables please,” is a refrain parents and doctors would like to hear from kids. At Royal Oak Middle School and Tyrone Elementary in Harper Woods, it’s becoming a reality due to Project Healthy Schools.

This collaborative program between Beaumont Health System and the University of Michigan teaches children to make healthy eating choices. Its goals are to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

According to Michigan Critical Health Indicators, the prevalence of overweight and obese children has significantly increased from 14.5 percent in 2003 to 30.6 percent in 2007.

The 12-week educational series encourages preteens to add more fresh produce to their diet, read food labels and to exercise. At Royal Oak Middle School, Beaumont Project Healthy Schools coordinator Emily Hippler divides the students into four groups and gives each group a bag filled with different types of bever-ages. The groups are told to rank the drinks by calories, servings, fat and sugar. The soft drink has the most calories and the most sugar, while water has zero calories and zero sugar. In some fruit drinks, students realize sugar is the main ingredient with only a bit of fruit juice. When asked which drink is the best after the session, students reply in unison, “Water!”

At Tyrone Elementary School in Harper Woods, students use a variety of vegetables to make low-calorie salads that are rich in vitamins and minerals. Then the class discusses

Project Healthy Schools offers appetizing alternatives

fat content in foods. The students read the labels and see a big difference between whole milk, 2% milk and skim milk. They end the session with a milk moustache taste test.

“Each Project Healthy School lesson combines information with a hands-on activity that enables the students to learn about healthy habits in a fun interactive way,” says Emily. Harper Woods science teacher Brenda Crane is delighted with the program because she believes it’s a challenge to motivate students for lifelong changes. “A good practice

is to use outside resources as experts, and with Project Healthy Schools, I’m hoping for long-term effects.”

The goal is to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes by instilling healthy habits.

OBESITY: A GROWING CONCERNRecent statistics from the Institute of Medicine show:

n 1 out of 3 children are overweight

n21% of annual medical spending — an estimated $190.2 billion is related to obesity

n$4.3 billion in annual losses to businesses because of obesity-related job absenteeism

Charity and Other Unpaid Care: $37,922,849Last year, Beaumont provided more than $37 million in care to patients for which we received no payment. Beaumont provides a safety net for those who are uninsured and cannot afford health care.

At Beaumont Health System our mission is to provide the highest quality health care services to all of our patients efficiently, effectively and compassionately, regardless of where they live or their financial circumstances.

In 2011, Beaumont Health System delivered more than $217 million in community benefit

Programs for the Community, Sponsorships and Donations : $28,585,235Beaumont Health System’s outreach programs help people in our communities to live healthier lives. Beaumont staff and physicians donated hundreds of hours in service to our community in 2011. Their efforts included health edu-cation classes, support groups and programs that address essential community needs.

Each year, Beaumont provides financial sponsorships and dona-tions to other worthy organizations that share our mission of promoting good health and wellness.

We make our community not only a better place to live, but a better place to live well.

Unfunded Costs of Government Health Plans and Programs: $101,012,967Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak ranks third in the United States for the number of Medicare inpatients we serve and second in the nation for hip and knee replacement surgery.

And while government insurance programs (Medicare/Medicaid) help offset the cost of the care, not all costs are covered. Beaumont pro-vided more than $101 million in direct patient care to recipients of Medicare, Medicaid or other federal, state and local government health programs in 2011 for which we were not compensated.

Unfunded Cost of Research and Medical Education: $49,982,548Beaumont invests in a healthier tomorrow with a strong commitment to medical research and education. Since the Research Institute was established more than 30 years ago, Beaumont researchers have been improving patients’ lives through clinical research. Beaumont re-search includes drug and device development and testing, studies to determine best medical practices and laboratory research.

Hospital costs for medical research and for training physicians, nurses and other medical professionals are partially funded by Beaumont. As Michigan’s population continues to age, the need for health care workers will grow. It is estimated Michigan will face a physician shortage of 6,000 by 2020. Funds spent training tomorrow’s health care workforce will help ensure future access to health care.

About Beaumont Health SystemBeaumont Health System is a regional health system with hospitals in Royal Oak, Troy and Grosse Pointe and a network of community-based medical centers, nursing homes and home-based services. Beaumont has 1,726 licensed inpatient beds, more than 14,000 full-time equivalent employees and 3,700 physicians. Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak is a major academic and referral center with Level I trauma status and is an associate member of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions. Beaumont is a major teaching facility with 37 accredited residency and fellowship programs and with more than 425 residents and fellows. Beaumont is the exclusive clinical teaching site for the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine which opened in 2011.

The Beaumont Health System is not-for-profit.

Beaumont Health System recognizes that consumers, employers and insurers want high value health care — defined as high quality care at low cost.

Beaumont’s cost per case is near the lowest in Michigan, near the lowest nationally among teaching hospitals and has reduced its cost faster than other hospitals in its region. Beaumont’s quality is among the nation’s highest, with infection control and mortality rates comparable to the best in the country.

Those are among the reasons Beaumont was one of 14 health systems selected to join the High Value Healthcare Collaborative, a prestigious national group of health systems designed to improve health care quality, lower costs and expand best care practices to other health providers. The selection criteria included strong research and quality improvement processes, robust health information technology, a commitment of personnel, operational and financial resources and demonstrated experience in collaboration across institutions.

Currently, the Collaborative is working together to define best medical approaches for nine increasingly prevalent conditions or diseases that have been shown nationally to have wide variation in rates, costs and outcomes. These are: total knee replacement, diabetes, asthma, hip surgery, heart failure, perinatal care, depression, spine surgery and weight loss surgery.

Through this collaborative, Beaumont is improving health care quality and value for patients locally and across the nation and helping to ensure that health care resources are effectively used.

Beaumont Health System: Quality Care, High Value

In July 2011 Anthony Carter, 16, of Royal Oak participated in a new concussion awareness program presented by Beaumont’s Neuroscience Center of Excellence. Anthony and his teammates on the Royal Oak High School football team not only learned about concussion symptoms, but each also took an online concussion baseline screening test. Nobody knew how important that test would be in just a few months.

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head. In 2011 approximately 2 million U.S. youths experienced a concussion. Returning to play too quickly after this injury can result in serious brain complications.

The baseline test can be used as the comparison for any subsequent testing after an injury. It can serve as an aid in determining whether or not an athlete has fully recovered his or her cognitive skills back to their baseline level. Cognitive deterioration (indicating a brain that is still injured) persists longer than other concussion signs and symptoms. A qualified specialist should determine when a student athlete is ready to return to the classroom, practice or competitive play.

In August, two months after Anthony completed the base-line test, he experienced a concussion during the Royal Oak Ravens preseason three-way scrimmage. He doesn’t really remember much about how or when it happened.

In fact, says Anthony, “I don’t even remember playing the third game.” On the bus ride home his buddies said he was talking slowly and wasn’t very social. Back at school, he couldn’t find his locker.

He began exhibiting some of the classic concussion symp-toms. “I was tired and felt light as a feather,” recalls Anthony. He also had a headache, felt nauseous, experienced balance problems and memory loss.

Thanks to his teammates, trainer and coach, Anthony received the medical attention he needed. Following the scrimmage his parents took him to the Emergency Center at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.

After Anthony’s concussion, his mother, Yvonne, quickly realized what an important tool the concussion baseline results were to her family and concussion specialist Neal Alpiner, M.D. When he took the same online test at home after his injury, the results were dramatically different.

When Anthony was symptom-free for seven days, the doctor re-examined him. “As a parent, you want to do the best thing for your child and in this case it was wait. And as his online test results improved, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was on the road to being my old Anthony again,” says Yvonne.

With his physician’s approval, three weeks later he resumed condition-ing with the team, and four weeks after his concussion, he resumed full contact.

BUILDING A HEALTHIER TOMORROWAt Beaumont, we’re committed to investing in health, wellness and prevention programs that add to the quality of life for our patients and promote healthy living.

Our educational programming starts at birth with the award- winning Parenting Program at Beaumont Children’s Hospital. Then, physicians and health care providers educate elementary school children, in programs like Tar Wars (tobacco prevention) and Project Healthy Schools. Our support groups and classes help adults and seniors. Our free Speakers Bureau places more than 100 speakers annually at no cost to schools and organizations.

Our commitment to health education and awareness is paramount, whether it’s a blood pressure screening at a local health fair or training the next generation of doctors and nurses in our surgical learning center and operating rooms.

Beaumont supports and educates people in the community helping people live healthier lives.

COMPREHENSIVE CONCUSSION CAREn According to the Centers for Disease Control, emergency centers saw a 52% increase in traumatic brain injury visits from 2001 to 2009 with the highest percentage of sports-related injuries.

n Beaumont has developed a free student athlete program to educate players and parents on concussion and provide free baseline screenings.

n A baseline concussion test enables physicians to make comparisons and then determine when the athlete can resume playing sports.

n Beaumont’s Comprehensive Concussion Care program began in July 2011 and as of today, more than 500 students have been screened. For more information, call 855-4-MY-HEAD.

Oakland County is experiencing unprecedented growth in its older adult population. According to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, by 2035 one in four people in the region is expected to be age 65 or older.

A generous gift from the Weisbergs of Bloomfield Hills will create the Henrietta & Alvin Weisberg Center for Acute Care of the Elderly at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.

Since more than half of patients admitted to Beaumont Health System are 65 years of age or older, this center is needed and will improve the treatment of our aging population.

“The Henrietta & Alvin Weisberg Center for Acute Care of the Elderly will have several advantages over a traditional hospital unit,” says Michael Maddens, M.D., chair of the Department of Medicine at Beaumont, Royal Oak.

“The unit will be staffed by nurses specially trained in the care of hospitalized elderly patients, with a focus on preventing problems commonly encountered by elderly patients such as incontinence, immobility and delirium,” he adds.

The unit will have a “Day Room” where patients can gather for meals and activities with video monitoring to reduce the risk of falls.

“We’re so happy to help the elderly. I have an older brother with dementia and this is important to us,” says Alvin.

“I’m delighted to be associated with Beaumont. They saved my life three years ago,” he adds. The Weisbergs are dedicated to their family and dedicated to helping to others.

Enhancing the care of elderly patients

“It’s our pleasure and privilege to give,” says Henrietta. “We also know how it feels to be old.”

FOR OLDER ADULTS, BEAUMONT IS A VALUABLE RESOURCEBeaumont Health System has developed special geriatric services dedicated to serving older adults and their families. You’ll find state-of-the-art technology, teams of specialists and a host of programs specially designed for senior citizens.

Beaumont has a toll-free senior resource number to provide information on programs and services within Beaumont Health System as well as in the community.

For more information, call 1-800-328-2241.

The Beaumont Foundation gratefully acknowledges the extraordinary generosity of Henrietta and Alvin Weisberg (left) and their support of Beaumont and its health care mission. All gifts are an investment in Beaumont, and each one makes a difference.

For patients with suspected blocked arteries of the heart, Beaumont-led research is providing alternatives to invasive tests and surgery.

The research, published in the Feb. 14, 2012 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that coronary computed tomography angiography, where heart arteries are imaged with a CT scanner, is very effective at identifying obstructive heart disease. The imaging is safer and costs less than a heart catheterization, an invasive test, where a physician inserts a catheter through the arteries.

Beaumont Health System led the study that will help spare patients from unnecessary tests while lowering health care costs. “The research involved 6,000 patients from 47 hospitals and outpatient medical centers in Michigan,” notes Kavitha Chinnaiyan, M.D., Beaumont’s director of Advanced Cardiac Imaging and program director for Ad-vanced Cardiovascular Imaging Consortium (ACIC) and the lead author of the ongoing study. “We concluded that CT imaging works very well as a ‘gatekeeper’ to the catheter-ization lab and can help rule out patients who don’t require invasive coronary angiography.”

In the ACIC study, coronary CT angiography was able to identify obstructive coronary artery disease. Stress testing was not able to predict coronary artery blockages.

Coronary CT also correlated well with invasive angiography findings indicating that it may serve as an effective tool to triage patients to the catheterization lab, when stress tests are inconclusive.

The radiation doses from CT imaging are small, and the costs are significantly lower than a cardiac catheterization which runs about $2,700. According to American Heart

Association statistics, more than 1 million cardiac catheterizations are performed annually.

“With the population at risk for heart disease increasing, it’s important that health care systems provide cost-effective diagnosis and avoid unnecessary testing, treatment and cost,” says Dr. Chinnaiyan. “Our study shows that CT angiography can help to identify patients who need expensive, invasive testing, especially in patients with inconclusive stress test results.”

Beaumont-led research may reduce unnecessary procedures and cost

Taking an image of the heart is safer and costs less than a heart catheterization.

IMPROVING PATIENT CARE THROUGH RESEARCH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION INVESTMENTSResearch and education are core missions at Beaumont. As a not-for-profit health system, Beaumont invests in studies and clinical trials to find new ways to detect and treat life-threatening illnesses and improve quality of care for our patients. Beaumont partners with other hospitals across the nation on many landmark studies.

Today at the Beaumont Research Institute, there are more than 1,100 open trials with 82,000 registered research participants. Currently more than 430 investigators in over 35 departments conduct research using $28.7 million in research grants from govern-ment, foundation and commercial sources. Beaumont provides a research training experience for the medical staff and participates in graduate medical education programs.

ORTHOPEDIC RESEARCH UPDATEn Beaumont Research Institute has a state-of-the-art orthopedic research laboratory, staffed by six graduate-trained research engineers.

n Beaumont is one of a few hospitals nationally with a hip wear simulator machine that simulates walking with hip implants and allows researchers to test materials and designs aimed to increase per- formance and longevity of total hip replacements.

n Beaumont is part of the High Value Healthcare Collaborative studying outcomes including total joint replacement, spine surgery and sports medicine procedures.

When the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine (OUWB) was being formed, a physician leader at Beaumont Health System asked the founding dean this question: “How does one train a physician to be kind?

The medical school tackles that important question with an innovative approach. Beginning in the first year, the curric-ulum reaches beyond the traditional basic science classes of anatomy and biochemisty to include patient interaction.

“Our focus is on educating the type of physician that you would want to care for you and your family — one who is a master of the science of health care delivery — but also kind, compassionate, culturally aware and an effective communicator,” says Founding Dean Robert Folberg, M.D.

Student wellness, mentoring and community outreach are also key at the school. All students are paired with a Beaumont physician mentor to guide and look after them and to teach them to be healthy role models for patients.

Students participate in four-year capstone projects addressing issues of scientific or social impact in health education, research or community service. These projects will help them find a specialty that matches their talents and interests, while helping them grow roots within the community. “By involving students in community service projects in their first year, we hope they will connect to the community and remain in the area for their residency and then to practice,” says Gene Michalski, president and CEO of Beaumont Health System. This will also address Michigan’s physician shortage expected by 2020.

The medical school is one of just a few in the country where students complete all clinical training within one integrated health care system, offering them experiences through Beaumont’s tertiary care and community hospitals, community-based medical centers and physician practices, nursing homes, home care and hospice.

The culture is not a series of courses or programs or an institute grafted onto a school or hospital system. The OUWB culture emerges from a generous invest-ment of attention and care to every detail of daily work. The school aims to facilitate the growth of a medical student into a physician who is competent and compas-sionate. According to Dean Folberg, “We expect our graduates who become scientists and clinician-scientists to understand that the endpoint of every experiment is a patient waiting for an answer.”

Training a new generation of doctors

THE OAKLAND UNIVERSITY WILLIAM BEAUMONT SCHOOL OF MEDICINEn More than 3,200 students applied for the charter class of 50 students that began on Aug. 8, 2011.

nMore than 1,400 Beaumont doctors have School of Medicine faculty appointments.

BEAUMONT’S COMMITMENT TO GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATIONnBeaumont Health System’s dedication to training future generations of physicians is demonstrated by the allocation of $33,116,714 in funding for education in 2011.

“Our teaching team gives us an early exposure to clinical medicine that is novel compared to other medical schools.” OUWB Class President, Chris Jaeger

For years Marcia Synpiewski of Shelby Township was living a nightmare. “I always felt terrible. I always felt exhausted, and I never got better.” She never realized she wasn’t sleeping well.

As a day care worker caring for six, young children, Marcia had no energy and was forced to quit her job.

Since she was unemployed and without health insurance, she went to Beaumont’s financial assistance team because she needed uterine surgery which was unrelated to her exhaustion. “The financial assistance team treated me wonderfully, ” says Marcia.

She was grateful that Beaumont helped with the surgery expenses, and she was thankful for the excellent nursing care. One nurse told Marcia that she suspected she had sleep apnea because Marcia stopped breathing during recovery. The nurse referred her to Beaumont’s Sleep Evaluation Services in Berkley.

The sleep specialists recommended a sleep study, and it was determined she has severe sleep apnea.

Marcia now has a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure ma-chine (CPAP), and she uses a mask over her nose each night to ensure a restful sleep. “CPAP provides a gentle flow of air to the back of the throat which prevents the airway from narrowing or closing during sleep (the cause of obstructive sleep apnea),” says Robert Begle, M.D., medical director of

Beaumont Sleep Evaluation Services, Berkley. “By preventing the airway from collapsing, CPAP prevents the apnea and by preventing airway narrowing, CPAP eliminates snoring.”

Marcia is grateful to Beaumont not only for financial assistance, but also for diagnosing the cause of her exhaustion. “My life changed instantly, and now I get a good night’s sleep.”

Getting a good night’s sleep...with assistance

Marcia was grateful that Beaumont helped with the surgery expenses, but more importantly that her condition was diagnosed and successfully treated.

SPECIAL HELP FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCEBeaumont’s policy provides free and discounted care to patients who demonstrate they qualify. This may include:

nfinancial assistance for patients prior to or after receiving care

nfinancial resources to patients who do not have insurance or qualify for any other financial assistance programs or do not have sufficient assets to pay for a portion or all of the services or items they receive

ndiscounts for patients without insurance

BEAUMONT PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE AND ASSISTANCE FOR THE UNINSUREDIn our struggling economy, many families may delay or forgo health care due to financial reasons. Beaumont believes that all patients should receive the health care they need, regardless of their financial circumstances.

As part of our commitment to patients in need, we help them navigate the health care system and gain access to benefit programs.

Beaumont partners with many non-profit organizations to help provide care for those who need it. We partner with Covenant Com-munity Care, Inc., a non-profit organization and federally qualified health center, dedi-cated to providing primary health care to the uninsured and underinsured at locations in Southwest Detroit and South Oakland County.

A noble effortLaunched in 2012, the No Bullying Live Empowered (NoBLE) Program is a Beaumont-based program providing integrated educational and counseling services to support bullied children and families affected by bullying. NoBLE has a bullying crisis hotline operated by our collaborative partner, Common Ground. This supportive program, based at Beaumont Children’s Hospital in Royal Oak, serves as a resource and referral center for schools, health care providers and individual families throughout the community.

Bullying knows no boundaries. It can affect anyone independent of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status. News media has only heightened our awareness of how common bullying is and the tragedies that can occur. Everyone is talking about the bullying epidemic, and Beaumont is doing something about it.

Heartfelt danceBeaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, partnered with Spirit of Women to host a free Day of Dance at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Activities were designed to remind participants that preventing cardiovascular disease and leading a healthy lifestyle can be a fun and energizing experience. Nearly 500,000 women die each year of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for American women. “Every year in the United States since 1984, more women than men have died of heart disease,” says Pam Marcovitz, M.D., director of the Ministrelli Women’s Heart Center, Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.

Dancing can burn as many calories as swimming, walking, or riding a bike, and if done on a regular basis, can be a form of exercise with many health benefits. Donna Hoban, M.D. senior vice president and physician-in-chief, Beaumont, Grosse Pointe. says, “Exercise doesn’t have to be boring — turn on the radio or put those MP3 player headphones in your ears and move for your good health.”

Beaumont partners to provide community service

Safety City U.S.A. offers Halloween safety tipsSafety City U.S.A., a non-profit safety education center in Royal Oak and a collaborative effort of Beaumont Health System and the Royal Oak Fire and Police Departments, invited children and their parents to learn some practical safety tips at a Halloween Safety Party. The party featured pumpkin decorating, snacks, prizes, games, and displays addressing stranger danger, fire, pedestrian and candy safety.

“Parents need to discuss possible fire hazards with their children,” says Donna Bucciarelli, R.N., of Safety City. “This is especially important with the popularity of luminaries lining the sidewalks during the holidays.”

By taking precautions, parents can increase the likelihood their trick-or-treater will have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

Customized programs for cancer survivorsThe Cancer Survivorship Program at Beaumont Hospital, Troy now offers those diagnosed with cancer individualized care focusing on exercise and nutrition. Participants have an exercise program developed to meet their specific needs. The Cancer Survivorship Program also provides nutrition classes for those interested in cancer prevention, in the types of foods to eat during cancer treatment, and in maintaining a healthy diet throughout survivorship. “This program is a great way for those with cancer, or those who’ve had cancer, to be provided the tools and support to help them live longer, healthier lives,” says Adil Akhtar, M.D., Chief of Clinical Operations, Beaumont Cancer Center.
